Wall-Painting Talk and Tea

at All Saints' Church, Burton Dassett on Sunday 16 June from 2.30-4.30pm. Impromptu Talks by Mr Roger

Rosewell, lecturer, author and mediaeval wall-painting expert. Teas will be served throughout the afternoon from 2-

5pm; proceeds to go towards the new church roof.

There will be no charge for the talks and you are therefore free to come and just listen to Mr Rosewell; or to simply

pop in for a cup of tea and a cake; or better still, do both! It should be a very interesting afternoon.

The purpose of the event is not only to raise funds but to raise the profile of the church, together with an awareness

of the importance of the paintings and the history of All Saints' Church.

Lighthorne Heath Primary School

This month has been a busy one at Lighthorne Heath Primary School and may I start by saying a huge 'well done'

to the children in Years 2 and 6 who have been taking their SATs tests over the last couple of weeks. Everyone has

worked extremely hard and we are very proud of them all.

At the end of April we were thrilled to be able to welcome a team of eager volunteers from Jaguar Land Rover to

our school. Over 3 days they created an amazing new wildlife garden and allotment for us at the back of the

classrooms. The team of volunteers worked very hard and the final result is filled with beautiful flowers, shrubs and

vegetables. The Living Environment Trust came to school to do workshops with the children, during which they built

bird boxes, hedgehog boxes and ladybird houses. All of the staff and children at the school are hugely grateful to

Jaguar Land Rover and all of the other companies who gave up their time and donated a range of resources, plants

and equipment to fill the garden. Thank you!

Finally our football team, sporting their brand new kit, recently played in a match against Bishop's Tachbrook

School. The final score was 3-3 and the children all played fantastically! Well done!
